What is Epzicom?

Epzicom is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by ViiV Healthcare. It is a combination of abacavir and lamivudine, which are both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

What doses of Epzicom are available?

Epzicom is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 600 mg of abacavir and 300 mg of lamivudine.

Before starting treatment, screen for the HLA-B 5701 allele. Adults should take one tablet orally once daily. Pediatric patients weighing at least 25 kg should take one tablet daily. Epzicom is not recommended in patients requiring dosage adjustment or patients with hepatic impairment. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time.

Use all HIV medications as directed, read the medication guide and the Warning card, and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
